Strategic support

Some activities require more support than others, and some require less. This bra is meant for the middle road, medium impact activities. These activities include weight training, cycling, and boxing. These give you just enough support to do those activities comfortably, without being too restrictive.

Super breathable

The main thing to look for in a sports bra besides support is breathing. Because otherwise, your endurance is going to run out very quickly when the heat really starts setting high-quality this bra is made with high-quality power mesh lining that keeps good support while also breathing in a comfortable capacity.

Cost and Value

Like most clothing out there, this sports bra comes in varying sizes and thus, varying prices. The price range for this sports bra is actually rather reasonable, all things considered, especially when you take into account how many sizes it comes in.

Smooth double layer

The drawback for seeking extra protection is that it can make wearing a sports bra uncomfortable because of the added mass. However, we really like the in between that this bra found, managing to walk the tightrope between being multilayered and protective, while also being smooth and comfy really well. And the sweetheart neckline is an added bonus for those of you who want to get in shape and look awesome while doing it.

Ultra skinny

You’ll practically feel like you’re wearing nothing at all when you put this on, which may feel awkward at first. However, once you get used to it, the added sense of freedom given by the ultra skinny material and the minimalist back strap detail will make working out in this feel amazing.

Cost and Value

We go from a reasonable price range to a downright amazing price range. This is one of the fairest price ranges on this entire list, giving you one of the best Under Armour sports bras out there for a very fair sum.

Jacquard elastic band

One of Under Armour’s secret weapons when it comes to their sports bras is the Jacquard elastic band. Like other sports bras, Under Armour’s comes with a strong elastic band that keeps the bra firmly in place and supporting the bust. However, the Jacquard manages to do this while eliminating a vast majority of the discomfort the competition has to deal with.

Second skin compression

If what you’re looking for out of your sports bra is compression, then this is the one for you. The compression for this sports bra is so strong, they gave it its own categorization: second skin fit. You will experience absolutely no discomfort from wearing this bra while working out, leaving you free to focus on your workout.

Cost and Value

And just like that, we go from one of the best price ranges on this list to one of the steepest, bar none. While perfectly affordable in smaller sizes, this sports bra will drain your wallet like a leech the higher in size it goes. However, regardless of which side of the spectrum you buy, you are guaranteed to get what you pay for.

Full zip front

While many love sports bras for the fact that you don’t need to wrestle with an obnoxious clasp and can just pull the thing up over your head and be done with it, others find that annoying in its own special way. Which is why many sports bras deny either approach and simply go for a full front zipper that can be reached with ease.

Built in cups

Of course, for a sports bra that’s meant for such heavy duty workouts, it makes sense that you would need that extra bit of support. Which is why this bra sews in the cups into its material, allowing for that vital extra bit of control and support when working out.

Cost and Value

High impact sports bras have a nasty habit of costing way more than their lighter duty counterparts, which only makes sense. This bra is made from higher quality material and has to include features that make it more durable. Of course, the price range for this one is higher.

HeatGear fabric

Like the previous lightweight sports bra on this list, it manages to find the right balance between smoothness and comfort and double-layered protection from the elements. But where this one diverges is through its use of HeatGear fabric, which despite its name, makes the fabric feel lighter and thinner than it actually is, delivering a superior breathable feeling.

Removable cups

The difference in how lighter duty sports bras handle their cups compared to how the heavier duty ones do so is that the cups on the lighter duty ones are removable. This brings with it many perks, not the least of which being that if you don’t need to exercise but want to wear it for the comfortable fabric for a long plane flight, you can just remove the cups and enjoy it for what it is, without nearly as much restraint on the bust.

Cost and Value

While the price range for this bra is much, much fairer than the previous entry, that is not a hard hurdle to cross. So, if you need this sports bra in larger sizes, you’ll end up still paying quite a bit for the privilege.

Adjustable back

One of the main contributors to discomfort when wearing a sports bra is the back. Most sports bras go for the wire strap design for the back of their bras, so when you do so, it’s best to make sure that those wire straps don’t dig into the wearer’s skin while they’re jogging. Fortunately, if the straps of this bra are giving you trouble, don’t worry, as they’re completely adjustable to fit your comfort level.

Soft, removable cups

The cups on this bra are much softer and easier to deal with for long periods of time than those of other Under Armour Bras, however, even if you still don’t really like light-duty can be removed like all light-duty sports bras. So, between this and the adjustable straps, this is a sports bra that’s specially designed to be adjustable to fit your comfort.

Cost and Value

While still pricey, the price range on this sports bra is actually a lot more reasonable than the last one. While you’ll still end up paying a good bit, it isn’t an unreasonable amount on either end.

StudioLux fabric

Just because you’re wearing these to work out doesn’t mean you shouldn’t feel as comfortable as you can be while doing it. Which is why this bra is made from one of Under Armour’s other secret weapons, StudioLux fabric. StudioLux fabric is one of the softest fabrics on the sports bra market right now, and yet it provides just as much support as any other fabric out there. So, if you need extra support but with a soft, luxurious feeling to boot, this is the sports bra for you.

Sweat wicking

This is the most important thing for any sports bra to get right; wicking sweat and drying. You are going to sweat your sports bra until it is sopping wet, especially those first few times where you aren’t quite used to working out yet. It’s inevitable, so you need a sports bra that will be able to handle it. Which is why this sports bra is made to be able to wick away moisture and dry twice as fast as other sports bras of its kind.

Cost and Value

Lo and behold, we get the first truly reasonable price range since the opening three entries. Indeed, this sports bra is incredibly affordable in its price range, giving you more than enough breathing room with the price in exchange for one of the best sports bras in Under Armour’s library.

Gel-lined straps

Many sports bras have various strategies for dealing with the potential discomfort that can come from the back straps of a sports bra. Out of all of them, we like this one the best. Instead of making them adjustable and hoping that makes them easier to wear, this bra lines the straps with gel pockets that are incredibly soft to the touch, making them much more comfortable to deal with. Sometimes the simple solution is the best solution.

Soft molded cups

Like before, the cups of this sports bra are built into the bra structure, as opposed to being removable, as is standard procedure for these high impact bras. But the cups for this sports bra, in particular, are very soft molded and comfortable to wear. So even though you have no choice in having cups in your sports bra, at least they’re perfectly comfy.

Cost and Value

As usual, a higher impact bra is a much pricier product than its lower impact siblings. However, the price range of this high impact bra is much more reasonable than the last time around. And arguably more comfortable to wear to boot.

Enhanced range of motion

Sports bras are great for many reasons, but if you misjudge which size or even what type of sports bra is good for you, then you may find yourself unable to move as freely as you would in even a normal non-sports bra. Thankfully, this sports bra comes with a skinny strap racer back with a racerback design to make it as freeing and easy to move around in as a sports bra can reasonably be.

Low profile, stay-put fit

Generally speaking, especially for these lighter duty sports bras, you aren’t looking for the tightest compression bra under the sun. You just need a sports bra to keep your bust in place, and it doesn’t take a whole lot to do that. Which is why the Breathe just uses a super soft elastic band to give you a nice, stay put fit for your sports bra that won’t make you feel like you’re being choked around the chest.

Cost and Value

This sports bra comes in at a very average price for a sports bra of such high quality. You may have to pay something of a pretty penny if you need a larger sized model, but it shouldn’t be too much.

Zip front closure

Other than looking cool as a feature, the zipper on the front of this Under Armour sports bra is functional. The purpose of the design is to make it easier to put on or take off. With this design, you don't have to pull it over your head. This is perfect for if you want to or need to wear a sports bra but cannot physically lift your arms above your head to put it on, or if you do not want to mess up your hair. Or, if you simply like how it looks, that's a great option too.

Breathable fabric

While this bra is designed for high impact and its material is incredibly durable, it is not too thick that it cannot breathe well. In fact, this bra breathes very well. It has both breathable cups and an inner SpeedForm mesh lining that both provide all-around breathability for your comfort.

Cost and Value

This sports bra is definitely on the pricier end. But, with Under Armour, you can kind of expect that. You get what you pay for, and a good, durable sports bra is what you are going to get. So far on this list, we’ve seen expensive bras and some more affordable ones. It's just how it goes.
